Art of Performance — Dimensions of Voice: Odeya Nini (11.30.21)

Live at dublab Radio

“Dimensions of Voice” highlights 3 artists who use voice as a central instrument; as landscape, sound bath, conjuring device, and fluid transmission between worlds, binaries, time and space. An extension of the Art of Performance Series, “Dimensions of Voice” is a broadcast of sets by Colin Self, Odeya Nini and Anna Oxygen, all who engage in composing practices that center voice tripping, voice improvisation, and voice as a cosmic force for community connection. Odeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are textural harmony, gesture, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Odeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals around the US and internationally from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv, Canada, Mongolia and Vietnam. Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. The “Art of Performance” series is made possible by a grant from mediaThe foundation inc. For more details visit www.mediathe.org https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rDTnc1TAPE&feature=youtu.be
